Bloodworms are a must, at least once every two days, they will also eat shrimp, but wont eat flakes (least mine wont) If you can, place them directly in front of the frog (s) otherwise they wont get to them before the fish do.

could they eat brine shrimp or catch it

Frozen (obviously defrosted 1st) brine shrimp will be ok, but they must have bloodworms (again frozen/defrosted). The problem is they dont have good eyesight and they only realise food is around by the smell, then by the time they reach it, most is gone if you have other fish in the tank, even shrimps get to it first.

So the trick is to use a turkey baster (or similar) and squirt the food down, almost in front of them, usually in the same place (or on a plate so its easier for them to find), that way they find it quicker and get more chance of eating it.
